You probably wont see this but! I cannot believe its been like 5 years since this was posted. This video helped me, an 11-ish year old at the time, realize how badly I wanted to become a good artist. Thank you so much for putting this up.
OMG I remember I saw this drawing when I was like 15 years old. I loved it so much that I even printed and pasted it on my wall and in my school notebooks. Now I am 20 years old and I still love this drawing, I hope you will see this comment one day and know that your drawing was a big part of my adolescence
Thank you, for this. Years ago, when I saw this video, I didn't know I wanted to become an artist. Now here I am, improving and coming back here to one of the videos that inspired me. Thank you, so, so, much.
holy mother o god. this has been my favourite aradia drawing ever for like 6 months. and you did it really friggin quickly and with two layers. woulda taken me a day to do the thing.
Oh my! I can't belive I found this video again! Your drawnings gave so much motivation as a 13 years old and very begginer artist! I'm glad for seen this one more time, thank you!
Twice I turned my back on you... Haha, I was looking at someone's likes and I clicked this and I heard the song, got confused and checked if my iTunes wasn't on. Great song! Love the paintery effect you managed to maintain here..
I'll be honest. I don't like Homestuck whatsoever but I've been a big fan of your art for years now. And this is absolutely stunning. Magnificent work!
This video made me discover homestuck back in 2012 :0, I still remember searching in google the name Aradia and seeing all these grey creatures and colorful art, I was so impressed that i wanted to know all about what homestuck was :v
i remember seeing this drawing for the first time around the age of 8-9 during my first run of being in the homestuck fandom n like many other fanarts its stuck w/ me since i wish to be able to create something just like this it inspires me literally so much i just gotta practice n make progress !!!!
Did you use the crayon brush for the lineart? I really like it, it adds personality and texture =D Really cool picture, it looks very.. vauge (in a good way), the way you drew the hair, and everything just kind of blending with the back ground, it really looked like a dream or something. Great work!
If you're used to organic media, then one or two layers is actually extremely easy to do. Especially in programs that, to a point, mimic organic media.(Such as Paint Tool Sai and Corel Painter)
When you open SAI I usually go for where it says 'presets' and choose 'A4 - 350dpi (JIS) and it creates a rather large canvas. I just zoom in 50%, draw what i need to in that space, and crop to the drawing.
omg i saw this on my subscriptions and i almost screamed during class; i fuckin love your videos SO DAMN MUCH!! oh yeah, just wondering but what happened to your tumblr account? sometimes when i go to check it out it says its not there or not accessible
@Kaqome I know you're asking Ru3na, but from my experience it doesn't really matter too much on a normal painting, however once during my final exam for Art i had it up at 96% cos of the amount of detail in my work and the number of layers I had (i regret to say it was over 200) and it rendered me unable to save the image in SAI form, I had to save it in PSD. So unless it goes up to the 95+% range and you have over a hundred layers I think you should be safe(:
Okay, obviously, I'm not Ru3na, so I don't know if she uses anything different, but the best resolution to use is 300dpi (graphics standard). Anything higher, and you'll find that your system is bogged down and moving really slowly, so you should only use it if something is super extra mondo important and if you go lower, it starts to look grainy. I'm assuming that you're not making anything for the creation of a web page, like a gif, but if you are, then the dpi should be 72. Hope that helps.
I don't know if you usually reply to your comments, I just hope you reply to this. I'm an upcoming artist, I know I'm not good, I know I'm nod bad, I just want to know how many yeard had it taken you to get to this level? Did you have to go to take any lessons? Any tips for an artist upcoming?
I've change my marker setting like you through your setting you posted on DA but I hardly control it because the colors that I draw seem much more lighter than the one I choose?? Plz help :(

Hi Giffany
Whenever I need inspiration I come back to your videos, the nostalgia and the overall feeling can take away from any type of art block!
*The color is all on one layer.*
Will Kaye its literally insane
ONE LAYER
ONE....
HOOOWWWW
i know right
Anime Paradoxic a
doing art on one layer is actually pretty easy! except for if you're gonna do lineart. that probably wouldnt work out well,,
spookyfish.mp4 i dont use more than one layer, it bothers me and it's difficult for me
Actually two.
Sorry I'm so late :0
I look back on this video years later and its what got me interested in digital art. You've influenced me a lot)))
oh this is just absolutely gorgeous. the earth tones and the watery kind of effect is just beautiful! great work!
Thank you, for this. Years ago, when I saw this video, I didn't know I wanted to become an artist. Now here I am, improving and coming back here to one of the videos that inspired me. Thank you, so, so, much.

holy mother o god. this has been my favourite aradia drawing ever for like 6 months. and you did it really friggin quickly and with two layers. woulda taken me a day to do the thing.

Love the paintery effect you managed to maintain here..
the marker tool is a very versatile tool in paint tool sai and personally its one of my favorites. And this artist here knows her stuff about it.
I like the song you chose for this. It's a nice overall feel, good work.

Congratualtions, you get the most honest commentor award.
If you're used to organic media, then one or two layers is actually extremely easy to do. Especially in programs that, to a point, mimic organic media.(Such as Paint Tool Sai and Corel Painter)
how does one art. this. amazingly. nwskjcakl. you're just a perf artist x3
This is sorcery.... *___* so pretty
Holly, this is perfect.
Two layers... ohhh myyy gawwdd... amazing!! :)
Such a beautiful piece! I love it
its actually the paper brush with the paper texture applied. it came with my version of sai
rewatching this vid for the 10th time bc its very inspiring
That is one lovely icon/picture thingy you have there
Can you post your brush settings for the sketch/lineart? I love that pencil look you've got :D
I love Aradia to! But my personal favorite is Vriska :| (plz don't hate me for liking vriska! )
This is so beautiful! :D
I really like your taste in music
This was so touching, that I cried.
GEEZ, I should stop crying at SAI-vids. ._.
When you open SAI I usually go for where it says 'presets' and choose 'A4 - 350dpi (JIS) and it creates a rather large canvas. I just zoom in 50%, draw what i need to in that space, and crop to the drawing.
you mastered the marker tool O_O!
i love this song
I really love that song :)
_Where can I download the full version? It's so pretty I want it as my wallpaper xD_

_the edge_
hooty hoo oh my god same
omg i saw this on my subscriptions and i almost screamed during class; i fuckin love your videos SO DAMN MUCH!!
oh yeah, just wondering but what happened to your tumblr account? sometimes when i go to check it out it says its not there or not accessible
What do you use for colouring? It's so smooth and pretty C: I MUST KNOW. :3
@Kaqome I know you're asking Ru3na, but from my experience it doesn't really matter too much on a normal painting, however once during my final exam for Art i had it up

unless it goes up to the 95+% range and you have over a hundred layers I think you should be safe(:
Oh gosh this is really beautiful... if I may ask, what are your settings for the marker brush?
your artwork is amazing, compare to other people out there. (no offence to anyone)
i really like your artwork i hope i can draw like that oneday
Little dragon + Aradia +FUCKIN' AWESOME ART=
death by awesome.
Okay, obviously, I'm not Ru3na, so I don't know if she uses anything different, but the best resolution to use is 300dpi (graphics standard).

wow this is lovely. why do people freak out about drawing on one layer though? have you guys never painted before?
It says in the description: Twice by Little Dragon :)
What brush did you use to sketch the base?
DIYsaurs lead
once you get the pen pressure to work, they handle about the same from what I can tell from my use of them.
Aradia is my friends patron troll, she's cosplaying as her next week. i'll have to show her this video:)
Beautiful!
even if it's simple it still amazing
Finally someone who listen to good music while drawing x3
Can you please tell me the Name of this song?
AH this is so great
I don't know if you usually reply to your comments, I just hope you reply to this. I'm an upcoming artist, I know I'm not good, I know I'm nod bad, I just want to know how many yeard had it taken you to get to this level? Did you have to go to take any lessons? Any tips for an artist upcoming?

1.- Love your style
I have a version for Mac actually. I believe it works better on windows though but I'd only know if I try both. Mac is just so tricky.
you draw so perfectly. i need one of those tablets all i is a paper and a pencil no colors :(
